Whenever the service tries to do a fork, it dies with the following error message: fork_helper: child died before initialization with win32 error 80 Any ideas? Error 80 is "The file exists". This is not very helpful. Anyone have any idea why this would happen, and/or how I can fix it? Thanks in advance...
